uTorrent had links to a Manual of Ugaritic PDF (by Bourdreuil and Pardee, but the English translation, please-my French isn't that good) for download, but it's been taken down for copyright infringement. Anyone have a copy, or know where to get one?

Is there a comprehensive catalog of the things linked on the zillion pages of this thread? That'd make finding things much easier after all...

Please, if you do so, tag the files as well, so one can maybe sort them according to topic :) It'd be awesome!

Many of the links are included in the KQ Natlang Resources article already, but that list would definitely benefit from being updated.

I find all three of the last three resources very interesting

@Vardelm, I especially needed the one you provided a link to, Typology of Ergativity by William McGregor

Thanks, Vardelm and Daquarious.

Was that really helpful? Surely explanations of what is in the links is better than just a list of links? And was there any point in reposting the same links?

The point was that a link that contains parentheses can't be followed; you have to replace ( with %28 and ) with %29 for it to work.
Also, you should surround the link with "[ url]" and "[ /url]" to be sure it can be followed.

Click on
http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/lin/nomz/nomz%20 ... tti_tb.pdf
and see that it doesn't work.

Now click on
http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/lin/nomz/nomz%20 ... tti_tb.pdf
and see that it does.

The best thing to do is preview your post before posting it. If your link doesn't look right you need to edit it. (Apostrophes in links don't work either, for instance.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hoped that it would really be helpful. I'm sorry if it wasn't.
